Detroit Airliner Terror Incident: A Convenience Theory

I am not one that sees conspiracies everywhere, but I do like a goodConvenience Theory. Like the one that is coming together out of thebotched terror attempt by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up anairliner in Detroit just as it was arriving.

For the last coupleof months Saudi Arabia has been bombarding Yemen with fighter jets.Just recently the US sent cruise missles into Yemen in a reported attempt to hit Al Qaeda sites. Also, US fighter jets joined the attacks on Yemen. In return, Al Qaeda reportedly issued a warning that it would avenge US raids.

Nowit appears that the Detroit bound Airline Terrorist Suspect fromNigeria has supposed links to Yemen. Or at least the suspect is supposedly saying his bomb was made in Yemen.

Welljust when America needs a good excuse to attack Yemen, conveniently wehave one. Now never mind that we have initiated the US and Saudiattacks before this recent terror attempt. Just keep in mind that theNigerian is a Yemeni terrorist.

Some are beginning to question how a No Fly list that bans Cat Stevens and a guy that was writing a critical book on the CIA could miss this 'Nigerian/Yemeni' terrorist. Reportsare that the terror suspect was on a Watch List and his dad reported tothe US Embassy in Nigeria that his son (the future terrorist) waspossibly dangerous.

Also some are a bit concerned that this Watch List Detroit Terrorist Bomber was allowed to get on the plane with explosives strapped to his body.

Somethingsmells of a needed convenient Incident to help promote the attacks onYemen and the expansion of our terrorist war there.

As luckwould have it, and conveniently, Congresspersons are calling for aneeded expansion of the terror wars to include Yemen. One of theclearest voices for a greater expansion of the terror war is comingfrom the noted corporate sellout (aren't they all?) Connecticut SenatorJoe Lieberman.

Lieberman warnson Fox News,"Somebody in our government said to me in Sana'a, thecapital of Yemen, Iraq was yesterday's war. Afghanistan is today's war.If we don't act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow's war. That's thedanger we face."

It appears that, according to Lieberman, thegovernment was already getting ready for an expansion of the War onTerror to include Yemen. But the recent bombings of Yemen by the UnitedStates proves that point.

Still there is one other point I wantto mention regarding my Convenience Theory of the Nigerian/Yemeniairliner bombing incident.

Justas controversial aspects of the Patriot Act are expiring, and there isnot a lot of political will to extend them, you get a real terroristattempt with links to Yemen.

How convenient!

At thispoint we can only say that the attempted terror attack in Detroitappears a bit too convenient. It comes at a convenient time for thosein the government that want to extend the War on Terror abroad and theTechnological Police State here at home.
